Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake - Thanks to boot camper Pamela Armstrong.


Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
4 cups grated carrots (I use a food processor so it has the consistency of purée)
¾ cups walnuts (optional)


Directions:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour cake pans. Your choice on layer, sheet or bundt.
• Sift together in medium size bowl, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.  Set aside.
• In a large blow, mix together the sugar and eggs by hand until thick and pale.  Stir in the oil, then gradually mix in the sifted dry ingredients.  Fold in the carrots and nuts.  Spread evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake for 40 minutes or less (I usually bake for 20-25 mins.)  Check for doneness with toothpick.
• When cool frost with your favorite frosting.


Yum.  Look out Paula Deene
Enjoy!
